A Quiet Country Home
Back-yard cricket is part of the fabric of seemingly endless summers of youth and here, tucked away in peaceful Tasman, is just the place for a fulfilling family life complete with quarter acre section for fun and games. The home is anything but usual though. Here is a craftsman built near-new English barn-style house with beautiful, exposed beams and trusses and has a clever, eco-focussed design for warm winters and summer sun shading. Just three years old, the distinctive two-level home provides 151sqm of space with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, upstairs rumpus area and open plan living down - opening to large decks to make the most of all-day sun. There's country quiet and community friendliness, a store and cafe on the corner and the well regarded Tasman school a minute up the road reached by a safe pathway.
Four skylights flood light into the upstairs bedrooms and family bathroom where you can gaze at the stars from the deep bath. The spacious master bedroom is privately separated from the others by a family rumpus area. The open family living area with its American oak flooring and striking, exposed macrocarpa post and beam construction, opens to the decks on two sides. Morning sun streams in through kitchen windows which stack wide open so you can pass food and drinks to guests outside. A TV room entices snug evening get-togethers and the whole house is warmed by an environmentally friendly Pyroclassic fire, that retains and distributes heat overnight.
The home is on a flat 1,176sqm section where the hard work of getting established has been done. The property has double the required water storage; two tanks totalling 46,000 litres of rainwater, fully filtered for drinking and household use and the septic system is the latest in sand filtering and dispersal systems. There's solar-ready hot water and space aplenty for a double garage. For a family life less ordinary, there's so much here to enjoy.
